Update to Product Roadmap and Communication Changes

Thank you for your patience over the past several weeks. As you know, we closely follow and appreciate the feedback you share on Creators, and we’d like to make a couple of important announcements related to your posts. 

First, regarding the product, the team has been working over the last several months on re-architecting and re-developing a new Activity Feed for Ning 3.0. The new Activity Feed will include the addition of statuses and more embeds based on pasting links into the status field. This isn’t everything that the team is working on but the most significant short term new capability. We are planning to release this feature in July.

We also wanted to address the downtime that some of you experienced on May 26th and 27th. After the scheduled maintenance on Monday to update a group of servers, we discovered that some of the backup servers were malfunctioning. We've corrected this and have changed our operating procedures to prevent this from happening again.

On the communication side, based on several factors including resources and priorities, we have made the decision that we will no longer be involved in providing day-to-day support and feedback through the Creators community. Communication from the Ning team needs to be focused on product capabilities and new releases and other general announcements such as this one. Our team is focusing on expanding some of the planned features that we already have in development. Once we have more information to share with you, we will do it here. 

Please continue to use this community as a productive place to have conversations about how to build, grow, and manage Ning Networks. We will continue to provide technical support through tickets and phone. As always, phone support is available to those with networks on Pro, Performance and Ultimate plans. Our technical support team is available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm PST.

  • Ning has removed their reference to a July release on their Road Map page.

    • At least they updated it.  o0

    • yep

  • No offense, but does anyone really think there would be communication this month? Why do you think they have stopped answering on here?  There are no answers and disappearing is a whole lot easier than owning up.  I'll eat my words if magically something happens in the next two days but people.....don't hang on to pipe dreams.

  • I sent a mail to Ning to ask how far with activity updates and the promise of July. This was the reply I got:

    Thanks for getting in touch! The status update and more activity feed options are not yet released but they are features that we're currently working on implementing and it should be available in the next few months. Unfortunately, we don't have an exact time-line in place at this time. Please note that the best place to stay updated on our progress is the Product Roadmap page here: https://creators.ning.com/page/product-roadmap

    I am scared.

    • Oh my! That's terrifying!! Let's hope it's a typo and the meant days not months!!! I always find it hilarious that they insist on referring us to a product roadmap page which hasn't been updated since March on a site that they no longer have any interest in!
  • 3 days left for another roadmap lie to materialize

    • 4 days to go actually.  But i bet they meet their promise this time.

      • Can't wait, but loosing faith in Ning. Actually Mode

    • The Red Jump suit is priceless, just couldn't avert my eyes lol.
